My First Love

Like my shadow in the night time,
He is with me
everywhere I go,
He shines on me,
He is my own, my moon, now I can see
so I softly embrace Him

gently...

He is with me everywhere I am...
He goes eagerly
When I run from my imperfections
He stays,
He's here
uprooting the foundations,
the seeds planted long ago
to keep me insane

Eventhough, I didn't want Him there,
when I'd rather laugh in my darkness,
He beams for me relent-
lessly

intercedes for me, unflichingly
He is with me, judiciously

religiously

He is for me,
see Him through me

He never leaves...

Growing up - E. Ethelbert Miller

the day my mother
threw away my comic books
and encouraged me to read the bible
was the day i gave up being
a superhero and started to think
of miracles

this is how i came to love you
like moses looking over his
shoulder before he left that
mountain

Peace of Mind

Deep darkness;
A prison of my own making;
I thought I could breathe

I was blind and could not see…my enemies
Didn’t have to stab me in the back;
I gave them the knife

I allowed their opinions…they’ve dominated my will;
I thought I was safe;
I thought I could breathe…

Queen of Fall

Enjoy "Queen of Fall" by Marcella Hayes Muhammad

Back to the Basis

I was taught not to be complete without you and
As your woman, I should always look to please you

My identity was yours to define
Defile, denial, and delete…I was suppose to be a woman about it

To forget about it…
to forget about the things that made me…
the things that made me, me.

But I’ve always remembered…
Remember that you’re the one that’s forgotten.

You’ve forgotten that there is One above you too

The One that has shaped me fearfully,
He wanted me to be perfect,
He wanted me to love what He’s created
Soooo Wonderfully…

The One who made me, me
Made me completely

Complete
without you.
